Valjok Church (Norwegian: Valjok kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Karasjok Municipality in Finnmark county, Norway. It is located in the village of Váljohka. It is an annex chapel for the Karasjok parish which is part of the Indre Finnmark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Nord-Hålogaland.[1]
The small, red, wooden church was built in a long church style in 1932 by the architect Harald Sund. The church was built to serve the inhabitants in the northeastern part of the municipality, along the Tana River. The church seats about 60 people. The interior colouring is remarkable, with strong red and blue detail set against golden, unpainted woodwork. These are interpreted as the traditional colours of the gákti (the traditional Sami costume) and they are a standard feature of Sami décor.[2][3]
